Mugger Gets Shot In Face!

[The Shade]

Reminds me of a story I heard of a couple muggers who jumped this little old asian man, who turned out to be some sort of martial arts grand champion.

When they woke up in the hospital, I suspect the doctors had a hard time explaining what had happened due to laughing so hard.

I've done Korean Street Fighting since I was a boy, I prefer my chances against someones fists than a bullet,
FISTICUFFS I CHOSE YOU!
*throws ball on the floor*

Well if you are able to defend yourself then the fists are a better option but if you were able to defend yourself chances are you have some common sense and wouldn't be mugging someone let alone a gang member.

that is absolutly correct, people disciplined dont fight, even someone who did Krav Maga or Odho Kwan. Its strange but we've been disciplined not to use force, I dont know a single martial artist that has gone full out in the real world fight due to discipline, when in a tournemant against a brick wall or wood to break, morals go out of the window, you know because its wood and bricks.

You could say a martial artist has great willpower.

did you hear recently, about the burglar who tried to burgle his 71 year old next door neighbour? he brought a knife with him but he didn't know the OAP was ex army and was a boxer, apparently the burgler looked like he'd been in an accident.

Life in jail? For defending himself from a knife wielding thug? A touch extreme.

But the muggee (is that even a word?) was a gun wielding thug, so I guess it evens out.

one less mugger in the world

one less violent ganmg member on the street

Yes, that was entertaining.

At some point, you have to stop and ask yourself, "Why would someone burgle their next-door neighbour?"

His profession should not come into it. It was a act of self defence. Nothing more.

I doubt the judge can overlook the fact that, you know, the shooting was committed by a gang member.

Anyway, I'm guessing he didn't even have a permit for the gun, so I'll bet that's how they got him.

a crack head, they have no morals, the question he should ask himself is "why did I try to burgle my neighbour in the middle of the night with a knife and he's 71 years old". Thats is fucking disgusting.

He got what he had coming!

Actually, this would count as self-defense only if the mugger had a gun, too.

He could've just shot the mugger in the arm, or leg.

There is a limit on how far you can push shooting someone from "murder" to "self-defense". In this case, he wasn't in any mortal danger, unless that mugger attacked him... And I doubt it, as he probably wasn't crazy enough to attack with a knife a dude who had a gun. My bet is - mugger pulled out the blade, the "victim" pulled out a gun, 4 seconds later gunshots and one corpse.

That's hardly self-defense.

Its not really all that crazy to be fair.

Pull a knife on a gang member with a gun and they're pretty likely to shoot you.
Shoot someone in the face and you get life in jail.

Whats the unusual thing about this story again?

its a very elaborate game of Rock Paper Scissors, thats what it is.

If gun beats knife and jail beats gun, does that mean knife beats jail?

No its more elaborate than that, while the knife would help in jail in not getting bummed I think "handing out leaflets and winning the hearts and minds of the old age populace" would be more fitting to beat gun. The gunner would flee upon seeing old age people coming round the corner shouting at them about how much of a "nice young man" you are.

now if you go to jail as the gunner, then you can trade bullets for crack, the knife is good for contract beatings in the jail since you'll be the *****, and the leaflets will make the wardens treat you better since they'll think of their own sweet grandmother.

Ok I think I have the game all sorted now, who wants to play?

I think you win >.>

 

[ElephantGuts]

It's really not that exciting or unusual. Things like this and wierder happen every day. No offense but you sound extremely naive.

 

[Hitman 43]

Ouch.

Uhh, guys, he's in a gang. He killed one guy in self defence (KILLED! Only in America and third world countries is that considered "reasonable force"...), but he's probably got a list of crimes he's at least suspected of that "self defence" can't quite cover, and the police just took the opportunity to bang him up.

Probablt shoulda just beaten the shit out of the guy and left him to struggle off home...

In America, if someone attacks you, and you seriously injure them without killing them, they can turn around and sue you, even if they attacked you. Pragmatically speaking, it's better in most cases to just kill them if they pose a threat to your life. The one exception, I would say, is in police officers, who are supposed to be trained to deal with that sort of situation, using lethal force only as a truly last resort. Of course, with real pigs cops, it often doesn't work that way.

Actually, this would count as self-defense only if the mugger had a gun, too.

You're assuming he had time to draw and brandish the gun as a deterrent. The mugger could have demanded his money, and then rushed him as he saw him reach inside his jacket or whatever. At which point the gangster really did have no choice but to draw quickly and shoot him. It could have easily been legitimate self-defense.
